A historic Creole sugar plantation, Laura is surrounded by fields of sugarcane and 11 historic buildings which are also listed on the National Register. These include slave cabins where over 125 years ago the West-African folktales of Compair Lapin, a.k.a. “Br'er Rabbit,” were written. The 60-minute guided tour is based upon 5,000 pages of documents found in the Archives Nationales in Paris and from Laura Locoul Gore's own "Memories of the Old Plantation Home." View the largest collection of family artifacts, including mourning and Mardi Gras heirlooms, clothing, business and slave records, and toiletries; original to a Louisiana plantation.
